How do I make sure my e-signature request does not go to spam?

Ask your email administrator to add 'adobesign@adobesign.com' to the allowlist. Make sure your sender profile name is not blank, as this can also cause emails to be marked as spam.

What is the difference between 'SEQUENTIAL' and 'PARALLEL' signer routing in Acrobat Sign?

Routing Type How it works When to use it. SEQUENTIAL Signers receive the document one by one, in the order you set. Use for approvals that need a specific chain of command, like a manager then a director. PARALLEL All signers get the document at the same time. Use when the order of signing does not matter, and anyone can sign at any time.

Can I add extra security to my e-signature agreements in Acrobat Sign?

Yes, you can add authentication methods. Choose to require an email code or an SMS (text message) code for signers. This is good for important agreements that need high security.

I've prefilled common fields in the production release checklist but engineering is picky and the launch review is in two days. I'm worried they'll reopen trivial items and delay sign-off. Tell me which fields I should lock versus leave editable, point out anything I must not assume, and draft a brief instruction that explains what I prefilled and asks engineers to confirm or correct only critical items.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.
